The Key Characteristics of Machine-Made Cigars
As the name suggests, machine-made cigars are commonly mass-produced sticks made with factory machinery, as opposed to the traditional hand-rolling techniques used to make premium cigars.
However, their production process isn’t the only common difference. There are also usually differences in the tobacco being used.
The majority of machine-made cigars are made with short-filler tobacco, which usually contains a blend of shredded leaves, stems and other tobacco scraps, which is different from the purer long fillers commonly used in hand-rolled cigars.
Machine-made cigars are also sometimes made with wrappers that combine tobacco leaves with various chemicals and natural glues to ensure they can survive production.
Why Choose a Machine-Made Cigar?
While machine-made cigars don’t have the purity that a hand-rolled cigar has, that doesn’t mean they can’t be enjoyed by both new and experienced smokers.
Because their production process makes it much easier and quicker to make, machine-made cigars always offer unbeatable prices. It’s easy to pick up and enjoy great smokes made with wonderful tobaccos, whether you’re trying cigars for the first time or just looking for something you can enjoy every day.
Machine-made cigars offer incredible consistency due to their production and are usually short, meaning you can enjoy a quick and cheerful smoke while on the go.
These cigars are also great for expanding your horizons and trying new flavours. For example, you can get a taste of Cohiba, one of the most expensive Cuban cigars, through their machine-made Minis that use tobacco from the same fields as the real deal.
The Best Machine-Made Cigars
Just like with hand-rolled cigars, the best machine-made cigars can offer wonderful experiences with complex flavours.
Also like hand-rolled smokes, many believe the best machine-made cigars hail from Cuba. Popular Cuban brands such as Montecristo, Cohiba and Romeo Y Julieta offer machine-made mini cigarillos with the same quality tobaccos used in their main lines.
Alternatively, some of the biggest and most popular machine-made brands hail from Europe where the process was first established. Names such as J Cortes from Belgium or Villiger from Switzerland are made using tobacco blends sourced from all over the world for smooth, consistent and enjoyable smokes.
